Description: Patua is an endangered dialect in Macao. A small portion of people, known as the Macanese, are able to speak it, which are the descendants of Portuguese and Chinese. Filomeno Jorge, aka Russo, is one of the few. He is the leader of a time-honored band called "Tuna Macanese". ​We'll bring you several songs by the band and get an insight into their way to promote the Macanese culture across the globe.
